"Greetings and Salutations, Anniversary boy!" -- The Riddler to Batman in the 45th Bat-Episode of Season 2 of the BATMAN TV Series (it aired on February 8th, 1967)! Come on, did you think that THIS Bat-Fan would FORGET the Anniversary of the small screen debut of one of his all time favorite TV shows? Especially a show that is featuring two of his all time FAVORITE super heroes, BATMAN and ROBIN?!?! A show that I still love an watch today? Uh-Uh. Like many other children across the world, I grew up on the live action antics of the Caped Crusaders! I vividly remember racing home from school, going into the bedroom, stretching out on the bed, and watching Batman! Much ado was made in 1966 about how Batman was filmed "in COLOR!" But, I first saw the show on an old 13 inch black and white television set, complete with rabbit ears(who remembers "rabbit ears?")! Color or Black and White, it did not matter! I loved the show! I watched the whole series  (well, MOSTLY, but I'll get into THAT a little later) over and over again! And the show was influential in other areas as well. Read more...

Well, it seems that Birdman, Michael Keaton's  dark comedy about a former superhero movie star gone mad, is about to gobble up all of the awards this season (and it's well deserved, everyone should go check it out). But the idea of insanity tied to comic book heroes and villains is definitely not entirely a new concept. In fact, there are tons of psychotic characters in between the pages of the "funny books". I would go so far as to say it is a recurring theme! Batman stays in business JUST because of all the crazy! But just who is the craziest of the crazy? The looniest of them all? The cookiest for cocoa puffs?! I've decided to go back to my 'ol "listing ways" and come up with 6 absolutely certified insane in the membrane characters (villains AND heroes) around!  Read more...
